I only said it was prudent to wait until the 'Three wheels on my waggon' syndrome was resolved, hopefully to Civic owners satisfaction. As the handbrake (which is already under scrutiny) only operates on the rear wheels, there are obvious advantages in having two rear wheels attached when applying the aforesaid parking device.
Volkswagen strongly advocate a sound handbrake and two rear wheels.
